I have an iPod touch, my mom has an iPad 2, and my dad is getting a work iPad.
And they all run on my Windows 7.

How do I transfer ring tones between ipad and non-apple phone using bluetooth

Can I transfer ring tones between ipad and non-apple phone using bluetooth?

No. iOS devices do not support file transfers between non-iOS devices over Bluetooth.
They probably wouldn't work anyway, as iOS ringtones have to be in a specific format.

The Apple web site has lots of other guidance, for example if you are migrating from Windows to Mac, read this.

I have GarageBand for iPad 2 and noticed that there are far fewer loops for iPad than for apple laptops. Is there a library available of apple loops? I haven't been able to find any if there are. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Update: An Apple rep called me today to update the status of my return. I was told that the replacements for the BLACK iPad 2's was still another 3 weeks out (at least) so they offered me a brand new WHITE 16GB iPad 2. I could have that or continue waiting. I opted to go ahead and accept the offer of a new white one. Worst case scenario if I don't like the white one I have buddy that just bought a 16GB black one that he would be willing to swap it.

If you have a Mac, it's pretty easy. But you don't (should I make a pitch for you to get a MacBook Pro in the future)?
This should help you out to sync it back to several non-Apple software:

How do I send messages from iPad to non apple devices?

How do I send messages from iPad to non apple devices?

Found a good article explaning why the iPad doesn't send texts over iMessage the way you would think. Turns out that the iPad isn't a phone and doesn't use 3G or Wifi the same way a phone would so you can't really send texts from iMessage on your iPad the same way you can on your iPhone.

IWork for apple AND non-apple computers? Compatible?

Can I buy iWork for both my iMac and Macbook Air, AS WELL AS for my non-apple laptop? I was told that iWork is now compatible with non-apple computers but found contradictory info on forums. Thanks for any help with this.

You can purchase individual iWork applications (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote) for download from the App Store within OS X. Apple is presently in an iWork beta for iCloud that in addition to working on OS X, will enable you to create and share .pages, .doc, and .pdf files on other platforms. No timeframe has been shared for beta exit, but it should be later this fall or just plain later.
By example, I just went to my iCloud account within Firefox 23.0.1 and IE 10 on Windows 7. Because I had signed up for the iWork beta, the individual iWork apps showed up in these browsers. When I selected Pages, all of my prior Pages documents created on OS X were there. I could open these documents, add content, and they were automatically saved back to iCloud. I right-clicked on a document and had the option to download it to Windows 7 as a .doc or .pdf file. The .doc file opened in LibreOffice 4.1 Writer.
On Fedora 18, same drill. Cautioned about Chrome 29, but worked anyway. The iWork for iCloud beta is particular about browser support (any platform) and may caution about certain unsupported features if you continue to use the offending browser.

HT204053 I have two iPads and one apple ID. How can I FaceTime to/from each iPad? Do I need to set up a second apple id or is there a way around this?

I have two iPads and one apple ID. How can I FaceTime to/from each iPad without creating a new apple Id. Anyone know a way around this I.e trying to FaceTime 2 IPads that have the same apple id associated with them?

HT4314 I have 4 iPads and one apple Id. Two the devices record clash of clans and dragonvale individually and the other two are tied to the other two. Drives my kids nuts. How do I fix this?

I have 4 iPads and one apple Id. Two the devices record clash of clans and dragonvale individually and the other two are tied to the other two. Drives my kids nuts. How do I fix this?

Also, I'd prefer to keep the same ID on both so I will keep access to my calendar/contacts/etc on both devices. Would I be able to share reminders and voice memos and the like as well? And how often would they update each other? If I edit a contact on the 5, and the 4 is in wifi, assuming they're both on my same ID, will the contact update on the 4?

Can I back up a non apple laptop if I had an external hard drive to my time machine?

Can anyone advise of a nice back up tool to use with time machine for non-Apple products?
Have used synctoy previously, and would like to auto back ups for all my devices, apple and non-Apple.
Have searched for advice on this in forum but could not find
Please help :-)

There is no such thing as a universal backup software. Each and every OS will have its own backup methods and software.
Time Machine is the Mac backup software.. it is not hardware.. what you are referring to is Time Capsule which is unrelated to the Time Machine.
We cannot give a generic answer to backup tool for every non-Apple device in existence..
The backup software is not on the Time Capsule.. it is nothing but a hard disk in a router. To every device Apple or Non-Apple the TC appears to be a Network Drive. Nothing more.
Windows for instance has the worst built in backup ever conceived of by man.. and if you own a home version of windows it will not even work to a network drive. So you need to buy one of the zillion backup programs available for windows that can actually backup to network drives.
But this forum is not about windows software.. look up what are good windows backup software in windows forums. Apple might sell the TC as windows compatible but they provide no backup software for windows. Or every other non-apple device in existence.
If you are interested,
I use Macrium Reflect free version for full disk backup and if you pay the licence you can get incremental to work.
Genius time line is a TM like backup that is promoted here in answer to this question all the time.. I am not sure. in windows circles, it rates very well, but here it looks like Time Machine so is popular.
Pick whatever.
For iOS it is not backed up to the Time Capsule at all and has no backup 3rd party I know of.. Apple designed it to backup to iTunes or iCloud.

For Linux you will need to look it up yourself.
And the other Non-Apple products.. Android and the million other non-apple, all of them will have their own methods..

IOS 5 used to allow Airplay between iPad (WiFi) and Apple TV (Ethernet) as long as they were on the same network. In iOS 6, now both the iPad and the Apple TV have to be on the same network and both have to be connected using WiFi ? Why did they change ?

iOS 5 used to allow Airplay between iPad (WiFi) and Apple TV (Ethernet) as long as they were on the same network, i.e. connected to the same wired/wireless router. In iOS 6, now both the iPad and the Apple TV have to be on the same network and both have to be connected using WiFi ? Why did they change this ? Means that the iPad and the Apple TV box both have to be in range of the wireless router when this wasn't a restriction before. Apple TV could be anywhere as long as it was connected to the same wireless router via ethernet cable. Seems like an unnecessary thing to restrict.

I have found with AppleTV that it is the IPV6 on the computer you want to access is the problem. The issue is that Homegroup on Win 7 or Win 8 requires IPV6 to work, but AppleTV won't work with IPV6. (So maybe double check you have IPV6 turned off)
So you have to make a choice - Homegroup or AppleTV.... but you can't have both, until Apple brings ATV up to date. (crazy that it does not recognise IPV6 - c'mon Apple!)
You can set up sharing individually in Win 7 or 8 and have the ATV access files that way.
Having said that, there is always the exception.. I have an old HP home server running Win8 and it services ATV - but is part of the Homegroup... have no idea why it works on both, but no other machine on the home network will talk to both ATV and Homegroup at the same time!

HT1766 I purchased an iPad air and chose a backup from my iPhone 5s. The only issue is only 30 of my photos downloaded to my iPad and none of the music. How can I get all items on the iPad?

you are using I tunes as the middle man for this back up, right?
When you plug in the pad to i tunes, give it a unique name, like my pad. I tune may be thinking it is talking to your phone. It will keep track of what you what on each device. Then plug your phone back in, and make sure your photos are uploaded to the computer - in i photo if you are using a mac, or in whatever photo program you are using on a windows device. You also want to make sure you have uploaded to the computer all of your music.
Once you get all that stuff there, plug the pad back in, and go through each of the tabs - selecting the music, photos etal that you want on the pad, then resync.
